I will not vote because my vote has to be earned. "Vote for us to keep the other guy out" is the worst possible appeal to emotion. When we keep voting for the lesser of two evils, we get more and more evils to choose from.
It is time for this illogic to be stopped.
I firmly believe the crazies in the GOP helped elect Barack Obama, and stand a good chance of re-electing him. They got the President they deserved, and their wailing and gnashing of teeth is pleasing to my ears.
Wow. That's extremely refreshing to read, from either side of the aisle. My own reasons for voting for Obama go beyond keeping Romney out, but that's certainly part of it, I won't lie. But I wonder many other Republicans feel the way you do. You definitely don't hear that kind of calm, rational thought in the media, anywhere. Well no, actually "The Daily Show" just ripped both sides of the recall debate a new asshole and were extremely fair and accurate in all their criticisms, so it does still happen I guess.
And I couldn't possibly agree more on the issue of voting for the lesser of two evils. I kind of felt like Bush/Kerry 2004 was that very scenario, writ large.
